The current two-story, wood-framed Roseville Intermodal Center was constructed in 1995. This structure is an updated version of an original Southern Pacific Railroad standard station plan and is true to that design and layout except for modern updates of the electrical and plumbing systems. The first floor has a waiting area for Amtrak and intercity and local bus passengers, while a travel agency is located on the second floor.

Roseville was occupied by the Maidu Indian tribe until 1849 when it was settled as an agricultural community by disappointed gold seekers. In 1864, track was laid in Roseville in order to continue the western half of the transcontinental railroad. Eventually the town became a trading post for farmers from the region. The Southern Pacific freight yard was relocated here from Rocklin in 1908. The growth of the railroad brought more citizens and further development to the town. Subsequently, Roseville Yard grew to become the largest rail yard in California.

Amtrak does not provide ticketing or baggage services at this facility, which is served by four daily trains. The Capitol Corridor route is primarily financed and operated in partnership with the State of California. It is managed by the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA), which partners with Amtrak, the Union Pacific Railroad, Caltrans and the communities comprising the CCJPA to continue development of a cost-effective, viable and safe intercity passenger rail service.

Amtrak established the Great American Stations Project in 2006 to educate communities on the benefits of redeveloping train stations, offer tools to community leaders to preserve their stations, and provide the appropriate Amtrak resources.

Amtrak is America’s Railroad®, the nation’s intercity passenger rail service and its high-speed rail operator. More than 31.7 million passengers traveled on Amtrak in FY 2017 on more than 300 daily trains that connect 46 states, the District of Columbia and three Canadian Provinces.
